Radycki, D: Paula Modersohn-Becker The First Modern Woman Artist

"Masterful. Diane Radycki provides a persuasive and revelatory argument for the title of her book pronouncing Paula Modersohn-Becker as "The First Modern Woman Artist." There is no book I know of that has as keen a cutting edge into the artist's motivations while at the same time placing her convincingly as an important early 20th-century "modern" woman artist. Her short life and growing posthumous fame are brilliantly juxtaposed."--Alessandra Comini
